I just have another little question : my old development database had a size of 2.8 MB ; I've "extracted" my ZCatalog from it to a new ZODB, and tried to pack the two databases : now, each of them has a size of nearly 2.1 or 2.5 MB, which if "far" more than the original database, so my question : why ??
The Control_Panel stores about 2-3 MB of data, and each database has its own copy of the Control_Panel. I wouldn't worry about it though.
And another one : does the fact of splitting a Zope site between several ZODBs can have any impact (improvement or not) on the whole performances ??
There is no measurable difference in performance unless you mount a large number of databases. The MountPoint._setDB() and MountPoint.close() methods are the issue here: they have to open/close all mounted connections, even if they won't be used in the course of a transaction. There are surely ways to improve this. Shane
